Which one of the following is not a quadratic equation? *
(x + 2)² = 2(x + 3)
x² + 3x = (–1) (1 – 3x)²
(x + 2) (x – 1) = x² – 2x – 3
x³ – x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)³
someone please ans

You must know , that a quadratic equation is that equation in which the highest Power of the variable must be 2..
Let's check for all options..
Option 1
x² + 4 + 4x = 2x + 6
=> x² + 4 + 4x - 2x - 6 = 0
=> x² + 2x - 2 = 0
So, it is a quadratic equation...
Option 2
x² + 3x = (-1)(1 + 9x² - 6x)
=> x² + 3x = -1 -9x² + 6x
=> x² + 9x² + 3x - 6x + 1 = 0
=> 10x² - 3x + 1 = 0
So, it is also a quadratic equation
Option 3
(x + 2)(x - 1) = x² - 2x - 3
=> x² - x + 2x - 2 = x² - 2x - 3
=> x² + x - 2 = x² - 2x - 3
=> x² - x² + x + 2x -2 +3 = 0
=> 3x + 1 = 0
So, it is not a quadratic equation
Option 4
x³ - x² + 2x + 1 = x³ + 1 + 3x(x+1)
=> x³ - x² +2x + 1 = x³ + 1 + 3x² + 3x
=> x³ - x³ - x² - 3x² + 2x - 3x + 1 - 1 = 0
=> -4x² - x = 0
So, it is also a quadratic equation..
So, finally Option 3 is the correct answer
